Freedom Train: Support the Yinka Dene on their mission to keep the Pacific coast tanker-free!
The Yinka Dene Alliance, an association of First Nations from Central British Columbia, are rolling to Toronto on a ‘Freedom Train’ to confront Enbridge at their Annual General Meeting on May 9.
The fight against Enbridge is a fight for our freedom to govern ourselves and to choose our own future. We will not accept the government imposing a decision on us and forcing this pipeline through our lands. - Chief Jackie Thomas of Saik'uz First Nation.
You can sign a petition to support the Yinka Dene Alliance as they enforce their Indigenous rights and sovereignty, and oppose the Northern Gateway pipeline and the transport of tarsands in tankers along the Pacific North Coast.
Our journey on this Freedom Train is to build on the support from the people of Canada for the protection of our traditional lands. - Chief Martin Louie of Nadleh Whut'en First Nation
The ten day trip will take a delegation across Canada to tell Enbridge that they will not be permitted to build their pipelines through Yinka Dene lands. The Freedom Train begins the trip in Prince Rupert with stops in Jasper, Edmonton, Saskatoon and Winnipeg. Each stop will have a rally where thousands of people are expected to come out in support of the Alliance.
People are standing up with us against this pipeline threat because they know it's not just us who are going to be impacted—if these rivers and coastlines are destroyed for the benefit of the tar sands, everybody suffers. - Dolly Abraham of Takla Lake First Nation
